Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology by Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer
Today’s book could be the most important book of the year. Hopefully not the decade. Because I would really hate to talk about Critical Theory again. If everybody in the world read today’s book, we would never have to talk about it ever again. Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading...

Jesus and the Land: The New Testament Challenge to ‘Holy Land’ Theology by Gary M. Burge
It’s a nightmare that never ends. A nightmare of rape, murder, of unspeakable evil to the young, to the old, to pregnant women and babies. A nightmare that is all too real.

Saint Augustine: Four Anti-Pelagian Writings
A theologian writes a critical response to a popular teaching. He destroys it. The teaching and teacher are irredeemably branded as heresy and heretic. Augustine vs. Pelagius, the battle of the ages.

After Acts: Exploring the Lives and Legends of the Apostles by Bryan Litfin
Every good book or movie or TV series ends with closure for the characters. After so many years, Rachel and Ross finally got together.
